Dry

Thermal processing is vital in food, pharma, chemical, biomass, cannabis, hemp, and mineral applications, relying on direct or indirect heating methods to change the temperature of a material and alter its state in some way. In many thermal process applications, the drying technology must be extremely precise, and Marion solutions offer uniform heat generation and the ability to efficiently control the operating temperature and moisture content. Tap into our expertise and learn more about the various advantages and disadvantages of different thermal technologies in our Thermal Processing Handbook.

WaveMix: Combining Waves with Motion

The new wave in thermal processing technology that combines microwave, vacuum and mixing - Wavemix unlocks your potential by using microwave energy to generate returns in your application. Our insight has proven that an agitated bed of material is key to industrial microwave processing of powders, granulars and slurries. No hot spots. No long waits. In short, no worries.

Microwave heating of a fluid bed of product creates the advantage of shorter processing time, uniform material temperature and the flexibility to operate under pressure, vacuum, and/or nitrogen blanket. With WaveMix, your return on investment is easily calculated as test results translate directly into production equipment. Connect with Marion to explore WaveMix as your superior solution.
